Edit: Below is my personal Norwegian Air flight review. However, this edit from my most recent experience. We flew for a 3rd time with Norwegian Air, and while the flight itself was flawless (except for one rude-ish flight attendant), we did not receive our suitcases for 3 days. It did not make it from Gatwick-London to Singapore. Now, that’s fine, and I get it might happen. But we were advised by the lost baggage office in Singapore that we could potentially claim for the items we had to purchase in the 3 days we didn’t have our bags. Imagine leaving London in freezing cold with winter clothes, and arriving in…

Tips for a Long Haul Flight; What To Take, and What To Do!
Currently flying from Bangkok to Stockholm right now, and this non-stop 12 hour journey can either be a drainer, or pretty comfy. Hopefully we survive this long-haul flight!

To run through it quickly, the biggest reason we left the comfort of our island home is because we are looking for the next challenge, and in that, we decided that we needed to find something that will set us up for our future. We love being Scuba Instructors, and…

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
Just a little, quick, tiny, minute, update to let you know what we are currently up to. And boy, it’s a wowzer! We left Koh Tao a three weeks ago to come to Europe for a few weeks to visit Lionel’s family in Switzerland and my family in the UK. The lack of updates is due to catching up with family, catching up with deliciously, heavy food, and sheer laziness. It is ridiculously freezing, and while we’ve had a few ‘sunny’ days – it is nothing like Thailand! (Though it is currently monsoon season over there so we left at a good time!) We are constantly cold here, wrapped up in…
